Ono eccentricity of our Graded
School is the fact that all tho teachers

Dr.H.K. Alken; Third, Mins Hattio Ro

It is contended by the State officials
; ttu,t the shortage of Disptnair Longa
ton, at Laureus, is more a matter of
bookkeeping than anything-else. The
fact that there was a disagreement in
the books baa been known for some
time. It seemed as if the differences
could not bo suttled, so Govoruor Evans
directed Chief Clerk Scruggs to go to
Lauren.) and settie the matter, und if ne
cessary to close tho disponsary in order
that the account?, ought be gottsn

Dr. David R. McGowau who was in
jured in a difficulty with a negro somo
weeks since, died from tho effects lo
his Injury on June 2rd. Ho was 02
years of age, and for over .'15 years was
a physician. Ho leaves no family, ox
copt one son, Dr. Joseph F. McGownn
who lives in Georgia. Peace to his
ashes.
We aro now having dolightful
weather for farming. Cotton and corn
aro boginntng to rccovor from the cold
and our farmers are all very busy, no
time to talk politics or to see a candi
date, tho people must have broad and
can only got it by tilling the soil. Our
people havO realized tho fact that thoro
is no money in politics only for tho of
fice-holder, and wo all know that wo
must work whether wo have a Constit
utional Convention or do not have ono.
What our people want more than any
thing else Is a lowering of taxes, re
duce tho salary and costs of all offices
to correspond with the purchasing pow
er of mojioy. It is a shame to continue
the salaries the same as when cotton
was 15 or 20 cents a pound. A man can
work for half the pay now and livo as
well as ho ever did. Wo need reform
along that Uno I remember very well
that our Senator stated in his political
career by advocating that oourso, but
as soon as elected ho takes tho salary
with him. The same cry was made by
others before tho people. Tho former
government was charged with compet
ition and extravagance, but wo fail to
see where there has been any retrench
ment, so I think It is time to reform
again.
By tho way, I sec that Senator Irby
thinks he can manage tho neuro. Ho
concedes to him tho right to vote, but
thinks he can pursuudeaml bribe them
to vote with him so as to make a larger
majority for his party than ever be
fore. I would not have believed tho
Senator would have so readily taken
up tho negro, but wo will sec what we
will seo. Let us have patience and wait
watch.
The Township Sunday School Con

Mr. Edgar Ritt, son of H. L. Hitt,

-for is it becauso $2.00 por day is not
enough to induce a man" to servo his

I TEACHERS' COLUMN.
J. A. JJADDHN, Editor
AH communications ior this column
should bo sent to Jas. A. Madden,
Madden, S. C.
Some time ago nt the instance of
our School Commissioner a County
Teachers' Association was organ
ized. The purpose of this associa
tion was for the teachers to meet
and exchange views as to the best
methods of teaching.
One of the plans adopted, as a
means of improvement, was ?tbe
teachers' column, to be edited by
one of tins number.
All the teachers in the county
were asked to contribute something
to this column, if nothing more
than a report of the condition of
their schools.
At lirst there was some degree of
enthusiasm for the success of this
association, but the interest seemed
to have lagged. This should .not
be. There is no reason why we
should not have a good association
and a readable teachers' column in
our county papers.
However, this cannot be done
without the co operation of the
teachers generally.
If eacli teacher in the county will
contribute one article for the column
dining the summer yve will have a
column tliat will be read with in
terest by all friendb ot education.?
An opportunity will be given each
teacher to contribute something for
the column, or refuse to do so.
The board of examiners have
made provisions for an institute,
which will begin its session on the
loth instant, and will continue one
month. Competent teachers have
been secured to conduct each de
partment, and the institute will be
in every way worthy of the attend
ance ol all teachers in the county.
No doubt every teacher would
like to have a better school next
year than he had this year. There
should ilso be a corresponding de
sire on his part to do belter and
more thorough work.
The teachers' institute affords you
an opportunity to equip yourselves
for this work; and we sincerely
hope it will be taken advantage of
generally by those most interested,
for we cannot afford in 0 is fast age,
teeming with quick practical ideas,
to enter noon the- arena of intellect
ual life unprepared to reap the ben
elits or to do what we can. Then
let. us prepaic ourselves to train the
minds ol the young in a true and
noble way, that they may be pic
parcd to wave the sceptre over all
that is evil in our beloved land of
liberty, and plant truth firmly on
the rocks of patriotism and godli
ness. W. E. Hunter.

Harris Lithia Water.
The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is
Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most
Noted Physicians of the Country.
Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say foi
Harris Lithia Water.
"I had long been affected with kidney troubles. I hail fried all the
mineral waters from Saratoga to Cotter Springs. I had tried the
Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi
tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as
much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water
when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water ngair.
"When 1 went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of
my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as^good as
anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly nnd effectively. This
water is now being hugely sold in Columbia, and 1 think every person
who has tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re
markable water in the country. From a simple interest in Suffering hu
manity, I would like very much to see it given a trial.
C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C.
Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C.
Asiieyiu.k, N. C, September, ".?, 1893.
Mr. J. T. Harris:
We have been selling the Han is I .ithia Water for some time, and
lind it a ready seller; those who have tried it are loud in its praise. The
doctors here regard it superior to either the Buffalo or Londonderry
Waters. Wc predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become
more generally known.
Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH,
Prescription Druggist.
Pitosi'Kit ITV , S. C. Feb. 28, 18?4.
Mr. J. T. Harris:
I have been under the treatment of several physicians, and been to
different Watering places during the last ten years for kidney disease. It
affords me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit fr< m the
use of Hariis Lithia Water than all remedies combined.
Respectfully,
